Worst-case scenario simulations ensure manufacturing is prepared for all contingencies, but over-sizing or under-sizing may ensue. This results in larger than necessary filters and columns that may ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...

There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the wavefunction and then optimizes the parameters of ...

The paper discusses some statistical aspects of warranty repair predictions in automotive industry. The existing Renewal Process approach to model a single component repairable system is reviewed, and ...

A research project has highlighted the potential for quantum computing to deliver significant benefits for the design and operation of radiation facilities in the nuclear, medical and space industries ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

Buoyancy corrections can become important when the density of the object being weighed is very different from the density of the masses employed for the calibration function. For example, this is true ...
